If you don’t know how to install a clothes rod, it is a simple process and comes in handy when you need a quick solution for hanging clothes. Simple brackets like the ones used in this project are cheap, and follow the same steps as a shelf installation. These are a temporary solution in my bedroom until I build something permanent in the closet.

If there is one thing you should know about me, it is that I like coffee. I like coffee a lot. I was once obsessed with the stuff, then found myself not drinking caffeine for a few years. My friend Will from Music That Is Good reminded me of my coffee love last year, and the habit soon returned. If you’re powering through beans like I am, save your spent grounds! There are some great uses for them around the house.

When moving into a new home, you want some basic tools around the house. Even if you don’t plan on any major renovations, you’re going to run into situations where you wish you had some basic tools. If you are planning on renovation work, you definitely want these items around. Without them, you may find yourself learning what it is like to break a water line, but not have the tools to fix the leak or shut off the main. That’s a story for another time…

Few things make as large of an impact on a home as repainting the interior. The alternatives available to make an equally powerful statement often involve demolition and construction. If you are looking for a way to drastically upgrade the appearance of your home, consider overhauling your home color scheme and getting new paint on the walls.
